“Any special reason for the iron or just something that comes with bloodmeal?”

Just an added bonus. I cleaned the 6 stalks and production was poor, but only because of bug damage. I didn’t spray them with anything during the season. About 1/3 of the top of each stalk was fine; sprouts on the lower stalks were ‘holey’ and chewed through.

Anyhow, I just grew them because my sister wanted them. She’ll have to get them at market next year. They took up an entire bed which could’ve been put to more productive use - but I taste-tested a few small ones after they were blanched and they ARE tasty! :)
